I booked it because there was an airport schedule according to hotels.com but there is and never has been.
The check in clerk said always check with the hotel directly because 3rd party booking sites are not reliable.
Worst hotel. It was clean and the breakfast was ok but the room was set up so you had to undress outside of the shower in front of everyone if you didn't want to get your clothes wet. If you were tall eboogh you can see right into the it. Also, people were so lound most of the night and it was 85 degrees without AC.

Disliked: Amenities
We forgot to check the AC for this property. FYI, there is none. There is also nothing around this hotel, as far as restaurants and stores go, but it’s a clean, cheap stay for one night if you have an early flight. We had no problems getting an Uber at 615am. If I had to rate it in one word? It’s fine.
200 percent budget hotel with not much amenities. Never had such a poor quality breakfast. The breads were so stale and terrible quality. Too noisy as well. Wouldn't stay again.
Airco would be nice, as well as free parking. Perhaps better soundproof rooms, provide a welcome gift. Better curtains, the light kept shining through. THE TOILET PAPER HAD MOLD !!
Supposé avoir une navette mais on sait qu’il n’y en a pas juste après qu’on ait réservé, on reçoit un courriel. J’aurais aimé le savoir avant j’aurais été ailleurs
Good for what we needed for an overnight before flying out the next morning. Staff was very helpful. You have to pay for parking but it is a secure lot with in and out priviledge by automatically scanning your license plate. No amenities in the room like a kettle or iron.
A good, comparatively affordable option near the airport. There are good public transport connections nearby. I appreciated the early check-in option without extra cost, as a room was available. The wi-fi connection was stable during the stay and the room was relatively comfortable. The breakfast had limited, but good choices. My only objection is that the cleaning service attempted to enter my room before check-out time despite the do not disturb sign on the door (the staff apologized for this).
As we were walking in I noticed some suspicious people sitting outside the hotel watching all customers. Then It was terrible, from 2am, 3am, 4am, even 5am there were attempts to break it our room door with plastic cards and tools because you can tell from the noise. Funny our room 022 is 5-6 meters to the front desk behind the door!
